coastal area “Slosh Zones,” which are prone to flooding.

Dune Road (Town of Southampton) has been evacuated and closed to pedestrian and vehicle
traffic due to tidal surge flooding.

Please help us help you. If are asked to evacuate – evacuate. If you are able to go to a location
other than a shelter please do so (relatives/friends/motel)

If you do not need to evacuate, please do not go to a shelter as their resources will be limited.
If going to a shelter please bring a blanket, pillow, medicines, snacks, bottled water, reading
materials, flashlight, extra, batteries. Check Town website for additional information.
Make sure someone (friend, relative) knows where you are going.

You can assist Emergency Responders by voluntarily evacuating as soon as possible so as to
avoid clogging roads or putting yourself at risk as the weather worsens.
This storm brings a high risk of flooding from heavy rains as well as a 6-11 ft. tidal surge. If you
think you may be at risk, please evacuate.
